Here is a little introduction on what a Wi-Fi is all about. Majority of us know Wi-Fi stands for Wireless Fidelity which is terms defined for wireless LANs or Local Area Connection, which run specifically on IEEE 802.11b standard.

Well Wi-Fi evolved to get rid of messy wired networks. Majority of companies are already using Wi-Fi in their corporate network as they are more convenient than the conventional wired LANs. The wireless technology is also being used at major pubic locations, hotels and airports etc is being offered in either Paid or Free mode. As a facility this service is offered via Wi-Fi hotspots to assist users to check the internet and the emails but then there is no full proof security to protect your computer from intruders or hackers.

With every passing day, more and more people and understanding the need to the internet which is growing ahead with various different form of communications like the Voice over IP, teleconferencing, Voice and Video chats, virtual private networking commonly used in a head office-branch office scenario. Wireless broadband technology is going to make you mobile access to your corporate network and which can be extended depending upon the Hotspots availability. This has helped used in great way to remain connected to their work all the time.

During the Wi-Fi@Transportation Summit which was held at Stockholm, many high profiled Wi-Fi manufacturer had deployed various case studies and scenarios in front of the attendees. These detailed presentations on various business strategies for deploying wireless broadband technologies really helped many in presence to build their contingency wireless plans. The presentations also covered the impact of such deployments on the passengers and employees.

The deployed scenarios were precisely located in areas where Wi-Fi network could be easily identified within few meters and the user was not aware of any of the location-specific, personalized or positioned information about that Wi-Fi hotspot. A similar kind of scenario was previously presented in the city of Atlanta, US where users could gain access to internet while on move with good signal strength which improved on the mobile and wireless communication is entire city, including the airport. Atlanta is the first city to get the Wi-Fi transportation service and UK is soon going to follow the footsteps.

With the following great priceless benefits:

• It is going to improve the internet access on the major UK airports allowing passengers or travelers to gain access to high speed internet access and mobile communications.

• All the passengers are going to stay connected right from the front door till the underground transportation malls to each and every other point within the premises.

• A great Wi-Fi system is going to cover up entire airport and with the use of 'neutral host' passengers will have a choice of connecting to any ISP where they are going to get all the features of Voice and Video.

• Entire Wi-Fi network is going to be secure in compliance to the security policy.
